CLEVELAND, Ohio – The WWE put together one of its best lineups of matches in 2014 during Sunday night's Battleground pay-per-view. Some matches lived up to the hype, others didn't, while the ending proved to be rather predictable.

The night opened with yet another showdown between The Usos and The Wyatt Family (Erick Rowan and Luke Harper). It seems like the two teams have faced off a dozen times this year.

Yet, I'm not sure anyone was complaining Sunday night. That's because The Usos and The Wyatt Family put forth an early contender for match of the night that would be hard to top. The two-out-of-three falls format was rather meaningless as the match still lasted just as long as the previous ones.

However, multiple kick-outs and moves we haven't seen (double top-rope superplex!) brought the crowd to its feet. "This is awesome!" chants rang out right throughout. The Usos landed a double diving splash for the win. Battleground 2014 was off and running.

Dean Ambrose continued his psychotic ways by attacking Seth Rollins prior to their grudge match. The authority was able to break up the brawl, but not before Triple H banned Ambrose from the arena, cancelling the match. "You're not going to screw this up," said Triple H.

This is a historic night that I will not have ruined..... Ambrose will not be returning. #WWEBattleground

The WWE Divas Championship match was a little odd. I'm not sure if the WWE has lost faith in Paige or if they were trying to turn her heel in a loss in a loss to AJ Lee. Then, in more pointless news, Rusev found a worthy appointment in Jack Swagger. Still, that didn't give us anything more Rusev winning by count out.

As for Seth Rollins, the night wasn't over. Rollins came to the ring and demanded to be announced as the winner of his match with Ambrose by forfeit. I'll let you guess what happened next.

Yep, Ambrose attacked Rollins and gave him a beating before security, and Triple H, broke it up again. "Let them fight," the fans in the arena chanted. It was fantastic.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the match that followed between Bray Wyatt and Chris Jericho. It was slow and boring, as Jericho got the win in unspectacular fashion. Basically, it was the same as the first few times Wyatt faced John Cena. Though, it's worth pointing out Cena and Wyatt eventually developed great chemistry.

Thankfully, after the match's conclusion we got more of Rollins and Ambrose. Rollins attempted to leave the arena, but was attacked in the parking lot by Ambrose, who was hiding in the trunk of a car (which was hilarious). Rollins managed to get escape in a car, but apparently "Plan B" was out the window. (I can't wait for SummerSlam between these two).

Next, it was on to the 20-man Battleground Battle Royal for Bad News Barrett's vacated WWE Intercontinental Championship. The match was actually pretty entertaining once the junk was thrown out.

Of course, The Miz, who basically hid outside the ring during the entire second half, ruined the entire thing. He snuck in and eliminated Dolph Ziggler, who can't seem to catch a brake, to earn the title.

The fatal-four-way main event for the WWE Championship certainly lived up to the hype as an epic heavyweight showdown that saw all four competitors – John Cena, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane – trading blows. At one point, Reigns speared Orton through the barricade, bringing the crowd to a roar.

But it was Cena and his resilience that came out on top. Hate him or love him, the man knows how to put on a show.
